Spigen Slim Armor CS Designed for Galaxy S22 Ultra Case (2022) - Black

I've used Spigen cases for many years on several phones, but when I picked up an s22 Ultra, I decided to try a few other options. Primarily I did so because I wanted a card holder case and the Spigen offering only came in matte black. So, I bought a very esthetically pleasing option that had a spring loaded card door and a few color options. It was a nice case, but added way too much bulk to the phone and had all the ergonomics of a brick in the hand. So, I then tried another brand which seemed to copy an older Spigen card holder design which I had used before and liked. It also came in multiple colors and was cheap, so I gave it a go. It worked as well as the Spigen it was based off of, but didn't feel as premium. Still, I gave it a 4-star review and would have been satisfied with it, but after about a week, found myself curious about the Spigen again. So, I ordered my third case to compare them. It took 30 seconds to decide that the Spigen was the winner. The Spigen case follows the rounded edges of the s22 rather than squaring them off, so it feels slimmer and more ergonomic. The side buttons also protrude a bit, making finding them by feel easy while the other case made them flush with the side. I thought I would prefer the flat slab design of the back of other case, but quickly realized that the slight raised edge below the camera lenses on the Spigen actually made it easier to hold and grip, slimmed the top profile a bit, and actually looked very classy. I should have never doubted Spigen! As with most "2 card" holder cases of this design (TPU inner case with a plastic outer case), you can expand the capacity to 4 Cards by cutting out the TPU card interior with an Xacto knife. This does not sacrifice any protection as the "hole" in the TPU isn't on an edge and is "filled" by 4 credit cards and covered by the plastic sliding door. Just pop the plastic case off of the TPU to expose the full card slot to cut it out. While the plastic is off, stick a metal plate on the inside of the sliding door so you can use magnetic phone mounts. Looks clean and works great. I wish this case was offered in more than one color, but the feel and functionality is just too good to complain about paint. Spigen proves once again to be the best brand out there. They've earned my loyalty... Again.

When I shopped for a case for my new S22 Ultra, I wanted something with four features: slim fit, durability, a slot for credit cards, and a kickstand. With this Spigen, I got three out of four. I'll keep the case part brief but expand on other things: the case itself is affordable ($19) and does what it's supposed to do (protect your phone and store a couple of cards). I can get one credit card, my license, and two business cards in there which is pretty much al i need for walking out the door 4 or out 5 times. As for the kickstand, that wasn't available, BUT by adding the Spigen U100 Universal Kickstand (about $12) and attaching it to the back (next to the lowest (telephoto) lens), I've got what I believe is the best case you can get for the money. Two more things to add: use this product to protect your lenses (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P8M9L14/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The reason: the covers go on individually while other products attach as a group. That might be fine for some people, but the "grouped" lens protectors don't play nice with this Spigen case (I was getting a slight shadow on the wide lens because it made the case bulge). And if you're looking for a tempered glass protector for the main screen, try this one from AACL: (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NBPVQBP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It works well as long as you let the glass sit for a couple of days to bond with the fingerprint sensor AND THEN re-scan your fingerprints. Trust me, it'll work if you just have a little patience. All in all, grouping these four products together (from three different manufacturers) IMHO is the best protection you can give yourself for your new S22 Ultra for around $55 total (yes, to protect your $1k plus pocket computer). =)

Spigen cases are good-quality, and this is no exception. Fits well and (though other reviewers disagree) I don't think it's too slippery to hold. However, the credit card holder has two problems. First, it's easy to put 2 cards in there, but it's a bit difficult to get them out (that's why I'm giving 4 stars, rather than 5). Second, if you use NFC tags a lot (for example, you wave the phone over a tag to activate a specific app on the phone), then you may have a problem - I did. Many credit cards today are NFC-compatible (you can wave them over the payment point). If you have one of them in this case, then you can forget about using standalone NFC tags to activate the phone - the credit card (not the case itself) will prevent the phone from detecting the tags. Note, though, that you can still use Android Pay, even with an NFC credit card in the case. However, the 2 problems are sufficiently annoying, for me, that I'm going to try a case with a removable credit card holder.

Great case. Best value best quality and very useful with its two card slot, I actually don't need the wallet with me. The only thing is that I would wish they would do it for s25 Plus also

Very good quality! I bought this same phone case over 2 years ago and it held up very well. The protector itself never gave out, it was a little plastic piece at the bottom of the slide on the back that cracked. So, I reordered the exact one I purchased over 2 years ago. It fits my phone well, buttons work great, and I love that I can keep 2 cards in the back. Good grip, no issues with the camera lenses, and it looks great. 👌

I used the Note 10+ version of this Spigen case until upgrading to the S22 Ultra this week and the case held up great for the past couple of years. I like this version better, it seems a little grippier on the sides. I like that the three larger camera holes are cut out separately. I also like the ribbing they've added to the back. This feels like it will do a good job of protecting the back, top, corners and sides. I rarely carry my wallet anymore, this holds 2 credit cards but I usually carry 1 credit card, driver's license, and a thin shopper's card with no problem. I'm able to wireless charge my phone with the case on but I do remove my cards first. Very well made, useful and attractive case at a fair price!

I bought this case in 2022 and I have had it on my phone since then. I am terribly uncoordinated and I drop my phone DAILY. I also do not have a screen protector because.....adhd brain. My phone screen has never cracked, it has never broken or scratched. Every time I drop my phone I think "oh that was REALLY bad I'm sure its broken" NOPE. I also do not like to carry a purse because I lose things easily. I put my drivers license and my credit card in the case, and if I need to I can add a hotel key or $20 bill or something temporary (it does make the card slot a little tight so I dont like to keep it stuffed all the time.) This case is cheap and has served me better than any $50 case.

I've had my Spigen phone case for over 2 years and I love it. I have dropped it numerous times, more than I can count. It's taken a beating. This last time it finally got a crack in the sliding door for the credit cards. I was opening it when I dropped the phone. The case is still fully functional but I am a bit neurotic so I need a new case. This case looks great. It isn't bulky nor does it have rough/sharp corners or edges like some do. It's smooth without being slippery. The best feature is the card holder. It can hold 2-3 cards easily. I find anything more than 3 will cause the door to pop off. Easy enough to fix though. I prefer to keep it to two, my ID and a bank/credit card. The slide is secure when it's closed. I've NEVER had it open unexpectedly. the spot for your thumb when sliding is raised the perfect amount and makes for an easy slide open. I can't say enough good things about this case. If you're on the fence, just go for it and click the buy button. You won't regret it.

great quality product

The space at the back we use it keep emergency madicine

Tres utile comme coque, ca protege bien mon téléphone

This cover fits perfectly and covers the edges of the phone well, for this price it is worth having it, my bank cards are always with me and the protector is solidly made. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I was looking for a case that can hold cards. This is one I found with sleek design and that grippy feeling. Too bad that wireless charging barely works unless you take out the case.
